An image blog of women in stockings with a focus of erotica but with the odd, nay I say, regular dalliance into NSFW territory. Focusing on models, nylons, vintage, Asian, Ebony, nudes, panties, Canada, lingerie, hose, BDSM, D/s, and other and sundry subjects for my readers' enjoyment.

Did you ever notice that Bettie Page preferred to be photographed with her left profile facing the camera? I was noticing at Vintage Stockings last Bettie Page update that the first page of photographs seem to bare the out.

"Because of the devastation of World War II, Russian “girls” in the ’40s and ’50s were taught to be tough and work hard. I am saddened by the fact that Russia never had the chance to enjoy the happy pin-up times of America’s postwar period. In fact, cheerful American pin-up art was considered in Soviet Russia to be politically incorrect, decadent and flat-out immoral, the product of a culture that could never understand the true nature of the human condition.

By photographing exclusively Russian immigrant women in traditional all-American pin-up poses, I am inventing my own genre of Russian pin-up. My concept is to portray pure beauty, femininity and sexuality, not to objectify but to empower. To those who identify the clues in my work, hidden to most non-Russian eyes, I am telling the story of a crisis of Russian national identity, and the frustration and confusion of self-identification with the Old Country, the New World and a diaspora caught between them. My goal is to bridge the gap and seduce the spectator with alluring imagery, trapping him into empathizing with a foreign element."
